It Just Doesn't End

Several weeks ago, blogger Jaena had this link in one of her posts. It's the blog of Todd Smith's wife. Todd sings in Selah, which is one of my favorite groups. LOVE their music. The blog tells the story of Todd and Angie's daughter that lived only a few hours after her birth. They knew prior to her birth that this would likely be the case and the blog tells about the time they shared together with her - VERY much a tear jerker.

Well, in the weeks since Audrey Caroline's death, the blog has included a lot of other posts of how they're able to reach out to others, and I've really enjoyed reading the updates. She writes in such a way that you just feel part of the family.

But today I heard on the radio that Todd's sister Nicol (who used to sing in Selah with him) lost her 2 month old son last night. She found him not breathing in his crib. Seven weeks, two babies, one family. That is incredible pain.

I lost a nephew when I wast ten and a "niece" when I was twenty-one. That was way too close together. I can't imagine two in seven weeks.

Three well known singers each losing a child in the span of a couple of months is a lot to take in. But if you have spare time, I would recommend reading Audrey Caroline's blog. Just take kleenex when you go.
